摘要
Cellular cholesterol levels reflect a balance between uptake, efflux, and endogenous synthesis. The sterol-responsive transcription factors liver X receptors (LXR alpha and LXR beta) help maintain cholesterol homeostasis, not only through promotion of cholesterol efflux from peripheral tissues but also through suppression of de novo synthesis and exogenous cholesterol uptake. In this review, we summarize the important role of LXRs in regulating expression of key members that keep cholesterol levels in balance. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V.
